Do you prefer using only recovery manually? Check out the Touch Recovery in app purchase, for the most advanced recovery available!

Why does ROM Manager ask for account permissions?Web Connect only needs to access your Google account to connect it to your google account. It can't access any private data or passwords.

ClockworkMod Touch Recovery:ClockworkMod Touch recovery (and recovery) is work that needs to put in for every new device that is released by a manufacturer.If work on ROM Manager ceased completely, all the premium features would continue working without issue. However, new recoveries do not port and build themselves. Without ClockworkMod Touch being a per device purchase, there is no way to recoup recurring server costs and labor.﻿ Keeping ROM Manager free and operational costs tens of thousands of dollars a year, and that does not include engineering costs.Your support is appreciated.

Troubleshooting:Droid users: Stuck at the "M" logo? Flash an alternate recovery and flash back to ClockworkMod.HTC Users: Flash recovery not working? Try fastbooting a recovery on.Droid X/2/Pro Users: You must run the Bootstrap application first to use ROM Manager.Samsung users: You must flash a Clockwork compatible kernel first (see XDA forums)

This does not work on Asus ZenFone 2 Deluxe Special Edition - [ASUS_Z00AD] (ZE551ML) Android Phone. [[ Please Update Your Application.!! ]] so I would be able to use it on my Android Phone. This phone is widely used by millions of people, I dont know why this phone is NOT listed in the available supported devices...... Once you update your application so it would be used in my device, I will give you much higher Star Rating.

Not bad I used this to update my custom ClockworkMod recovery...downloaded the free version, did the $1.99 in-app purchase, and it said it flashed it just fine. Did a reboot to recovery and the old version was still there. I ended up finding a free version of Philz CWM touch and flashed that...that one worked... not sure why the paid in-app version didn't do anything. I would ask for my money back, but I don't mind giving the occasional 2 dollars to Android development.... I think Phil should get it though (whomever he is).

Still a beast @zz app! The original and still the champ. One of the best app purchases I've made. The updates bothering people is hilarious! Why pay for an app that has no more development to keep up with the latest Android ecosystem? HAVE A SEAT PEOPLE! Great job Koush! Love the super easy to use backup download server feature!!!!

Andrei Petrescu

doesn't work I downloaded cwm, I own an lg optimus g e975 ( rooted) tried to go into recovery to do a nandroid backup and when I go into recovery there's no backup/restore. I also paid for the touch thing to support the developer and to see how that works and I want a refund on that cause it doesn't even work, at least for my phone ( As I have seen other people have no problem with that). After a few tries it doesn't ever open recovery anymore .... either help me on this one or give me a refund, please, no hard feelings. I used to have cwm work perfectly on some other old devices I owed, so I don't really get what happened

Works well, research required Got it on my S3 and installing on note 4 as I intend to root it soon. Still haven't used premium version. Don't see anything wrong with using hardware buttons. If your saying it doesn't work, do some research.. like.. alot of research, you can look into xda and ask questions to experienced users and use YouTube.. it's your bestest friend. Make sure you understand what your doing. No point in taking a knife to a gun fight, especially if you don't know how to use the knife. Good job Dev

You product has declined First off it tried to auto flash cwm recovery over the already installed dual recovery as soon as I start the app.uninstalled instantly.This was once usefully to view and obtain new roms,now it's a reminder that I can do it manually for free with just a bit of time and dedication.

Fixer I fixed up both my s4 and tab 2 with this. If your a noob you should first Kingo root then BACKUP then install this custom recovery you'll have to search for your own zip files. Then use either micro-SD or computer depending on phone. Then you can install with the recovery. I now have cynogenmod on my tab and a s4 with the lollipop update. love it

I love this app but I am sure i already paid! I was in settings and it said upgrade as if I had the free version so I chose to pay because I love you guys and want your apps but I am 99.99999% sure I have already purchased this app. Please check again and refund me one payment when you find this to be just an over site or a glitch. I will check also soon. I trust you guys and know if I was charged twice it was on accident. You are the best!!!

Automatic Backup can be improved Automatic backup should give you the option to automatically overwrite previous backup if the ROM has not changed since last backup. It does not make sense to schedule an automatic backup and then be forced to remember to manually delete old backups so that you don't run of space on your phone.

Just because you install this app doesn't mean you can magically download custom roms. For this app to work properly you must first have unlocked your bootloader, then root your phone. In my past experiences you also need to s-off. Yes, you are able to download it but you can also download super user. Just because you have downloaded theses things does not mean that Android knows how to use them. There are plenty of forums for this information. Try xda developers before leaving negative feedback.

Forced to switch to TWRP The app seems abandoned by the developers. I tried to flash several roms, none of them worked, after blaming the developers decided to switch to TEAMWIN RECOVERY, I have been able to successfully flash, back up, restore multiple roms. What happend? Galaxy S 4 T-mobile JFLTETMO

Won't work I have rooted lg g2 d800. All I get is red triangle with android on back with no command under it....I have installed everything paid for all the premiums still nothing....plus I can't get to recovery I get to the hard reset screen but it wipes my phone every time please someone help me....after spending almost 10bucks on there premiums app they won't return emails

Used to work great, but now in SM-G900T Galaxy S5 having problems deleting I'm running a SG5 SM-G900T. Installed cwm, made a successful backup, copied it to my extSD, but now I can't delete the original backup whether from an external file manager or CWM itself. Says an error occured. I now only have 1 gb internal storage left. I tried to delete the files, but it still shows the space is used and the Backup is still listed in CWM. How to correct this? In my SG4, I used to do the same, backup, then export to extSD, then delete the internal backup file to regain lost space. Now it won't work on this SG5. Thanks in advance, Bob

Does what it needs to. Good app that gets done what needs to get done for setting up, backing up, and restoring roms. Dev fixed whatever issue wouldn't let CWM Touch upgrade recognize that I had already purchased it after new rom was installed. Took a while but got fixed, thanks Dev.

@ROM manager My device isnt on the list for CWM.., is there a way to build my own recovery base on your? i have little knowledge about porting roms... i see a lot of guide from xda about porting CWM.., but is there a way to build one?? please answer.. thanks..5 star anyway your app help me alot from my previous phones..,

Have been using this for 2 years Great app that has any problems fixed pretty quickly. Works wonderful on my old HTC g2 and beautifully on my nexus 4. Only once did I have problems with it and wouldn't fix permissions. Recent update fixed the problem. If you use CM then this is a must.

Perfect App GREAT! My only suggestion would be to combine the "Premium" version and the IAP of the "Touch" mode of CWM recovery. I purchased the premiuim version a while ago and was confused when asked to pay for the "touch" version of the CWM recovery. I had no problem paying for it, I just would have thought it would have been included in the premium purchase.

Lol This app does exactly what its supposed to do. All these people with terrible reviews have no idea what they are doing in the first place! Do your research, properly unlock your bootloader, root your phone, then come back and you will realize this app is pretty good! :)

Excellent so far, well worth investing in the Pro version. So far, I was able to play around with a few different roms on my old phone. Fun stuff. Installing (flashing) new roms was flawless. When I got stuck with a rom that didn't work, Rom Manager saved my day by letting me get into bootloader and go flash again, back to a rom that was know to work. Two thumbs up to the team that keeps this app going.

Hasn't been updated since 2014 Has problems with most newer devices where JRummy's ROM Installer (and TWRP) don't. Developer has seemingly abandoned this and AllCast in terms of substantive updates and bug fixes. I suggest using ROM Installer and LocalCast instead.

Don't waste you time installing this app. 2 years ago it was one of the apps to use. Now it's just massivly out of date. I asked the dev to contact me 2 years ago and in still waiting. This should be taken down

CWMT. Battery? I noticed that in the CWMT version that there is no option in advanced to 'calibrate battery'. Was wondering if it was removed for a reason? Or you forgot to add the script? :D other ways to do it of course but it was nice to have in the recovery. Will re star with a reply.

1/2 not working? Was excited to use app as the video even helped me learn other things abut rooting etc. But while the Rom manager is compatible the clock work mod program is not and can't run one without the other?!! that makes no sense!!!

LTE GALAXY NEXUS CM9 ROOTED The one; the only. These guys are some of the smartest devs in the industry. If Android was meant to be opened then CLOCKWORKMOD was meant to open it. UPDATE: No longer maintained like it once was in my 2012 original review.

Great app if you know how to use it This is an indispensable tool for modern & those who like to play with there Android devices. Only limitation of this app is limited support for TWRP. And most of the negative reviews are by people who are trying rooting & mods for the first time

Just keeps failing This app seems to be just a wrapper trying to sell you an in app purchase. It downloads something and if you chose not to buy whatever BS their selling the alternative just fails out. Better off just doing all this manually

Not able to work on MetroPCS MetroPCS locks their bootloader and even if rooted and you unlock, this will never work. This app will soft brick devices that can not use recovery. That means anyone on MetroPCS that attempts to use better be ready for bootloader loops. Remove battery or hold down volume and power then reset phone. Sucks not being able to flash roms or customize even with root access.

Looks great So why 3 stars. because you cant see any rom updates,even if any arent available. come on. if you want people to pony up, at least show them what they might want. why make me go to google to find something i might instead pay you to make it easier.

Amazing app! I had installed cm11 on my mipad. But after a while lots of bugs started creeping up in cm11 so i wanted to restore back to miui. However, cwm was showing error mounting sd card. I tried everything but couldn't solve the error. Then i found this app and VOILA it worked like a charm and installed global miui rom without any glitches. ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU AND STUNNING APP.

Might be okay if you pay for Pro Free users can no longer move a backup file from their phone to their desktop without a USB cable (and if you're going to use a USB cable, there are easier ways to create a backup). Kind of defeats the purpose of a backup if it's stuck on the phone.

Cannot get it to work. I have always used CWM. I picked up a new Galaxy Tab Pro at Christmas and finally decided I've had enough with Stock. Rooting was easy but no way can I get this to install on my SM-t520

Know/learn how to manually flash recovery. You one click root and recovery users also waste time and space on most forums. I can flash, backup or delete any recovery I choose directly from recovery menu. If your depending on one suckazz ROM or version that's your personal problem enough with the negativity. Premium user since 2k9

Used to be good, not suitable for new roms Causes more problems than it solves. Used to use it in the past (payed for premium back then) and had to pay yet again as its changed somehow so that my previous purchase didn't count. Then "updated" recovery through this and upon performing a backup went into recovery boot loop. Uninstalled now and will not use again! Highly disappointed and have more money on this app. Would expect a refund!!!

Profiteering off others wants to charge you for downloading roms that were made by other people, made freely available for download, and eill download over the wifi or cellphone connection you pay for already. Nothing justifies this.

What the hell happened It used to be great. Its a shame that's no longer the case. I've used it many times in the past even though these models weren't supported. Now half the things don't seem to work including backups, with the recovery menu now missing the backup option. Only 3 apply update options and a few wipe options

galaxy ace... I'll never ever install this program again, it damaged my galaxy ace and it was really expensive to repair. It didn't boot, black screen with no response. fixed with fritz box. Sometimes i forget how much i hate this program but i read this and it all comes again!
